Unfair to jail someone on baseless allegations: Medha Patkar on Akhil

Social activist Medha Patkar on Wednesday said that there is no democracy in Assam. After visiting Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) leader Akhil Gogoi at the Central Jail, Patkar said that it is unfair to jail someone on baseless allegations of following Maoist ideology.

"NIA's investigations are politically motivated," thesocial activist said adding, "As the KMSS leaders do not compromise on theirprotest against the newly amended citizenship law, NIA arrested them."

She further said that the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Assam is different from the rest of the country. Patkar also said that the Assam Accord should be implemented without any delay.

It may be mentioned here that recently prominent activistYogendra Yadav also paid a visit to Akhil Gogoi.
